Hi Neighbor!
My daughter’s bookbag has made its way home this week full of Earth Day inspired crafts and projects. She made a cute little bug antenna hat, painted handprint flowers and a four-year old’s version of the Earth out of tissue paper and glue (hers was very generous with ocean area). As I hung her artwork on our little display board in the kitchen as I always do, I got to thinking about Earth Day. I realized that I didn’t really know much about it at all.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22nd to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote the protection of our planet. The idea for Earth Day was first proposed by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1969, following a devastating oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.

Registration is open for the 2023 Play-a-Round Golf Junior Summer Camp Program!
We are dedicated to inspiring juniors to have fun and learn the great game of golf. Our summer camp uses a step-by-step approach that offers a foundation for juniors to learn, succeed, and continue with confidence in the sport.
The program covers all areas of the game, focusing on fun, improvement, and course management. Our teaching professionals work on strategy, shot selection, focus, and the rules of golf. We infused our teaching with plenty of games and competitions that help ensure golfers understand values such as perseverance, honesty, and integrity.
Here at Play-a-Round Golf, we have created an awarding and safe environment where juniors can play, learn, and grow together. We have built into every camp our motto that learning works best when fun comes first.
